Deep Venous Thrombosis Prophylaxis In Oral And Maxillofacial Surgery: A Brazilian Survey.

Deep venous thrombosis (DVP) is a frequent disease. Prophylaxis is the best means to reduce its incidence, for lowering morbidity and mortality rates and treatment costs caused by its complications. To evaluate the knowledge and use of any kind of DVT prophylaxis by Brazilian Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons. A questionnaire was sent to all Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons associated to the Brazilian College of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons that have a valid e-mail address. The data retrieved was evaluated and tabulated. Of the 1100 questionnaires sent, only 4% were retrieved. The 42 retrieved were included in the study. Twenty six of the surgeons do not use any kind of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) prophylaxis, 11 use mechanical means as elastic compressive stockings or pneumatic compressive devices for prophylaxis, and 5 uses low-molecular weight heparins (LMWH) as the choice for prophylaxis. The data collected, despite the low rate of participation (4%) by the surgeons, shows that this subject still does not receive proper attention. Whereas other medical specialties make routine use of prophylactic means maybe the maxillofacial surgeons lack concern on that matter.23519-2

A teoria da nova empresarialidade e a jurimetria como ferramenta auxiliadora para sua medição e concreção

   O objetivo deste artigo é fazer uma reflexão sobre a teoria da nova empresarialidade, sua influencia no mister ecoeconomico e verificar como a jurimetria pode contribuir com a analise, medição e concreção dessa teoria benéfica à coletividade. A importância que circunda a temática proposta nesse estudo, vem a reboque na medida do ênfase dado pela Constituição Federal de 1988 que apregoou de maneira enfática a função social da propriedade, entabulando-o como um princípio fundamental para o uso dessa bem como para o desenvolvimento econômico. Logo, a analise e a possível junção da jurimetria a teoria da nova empresarialiddae, pode conferir a essa ultima, a mensuração e concreção do quão ético e responsiva social está sendo a atividade empresarial, Para tanto, buscar-se-á, a utilização do  método descritivo e as investigações bibliográfica e documental, para apresentar os principais aspectos da nova empresarialidade e da jurimetria no campo convergente de suas atuações com a consequente efetivação das diretrizes constitucionais.    

Yersinia pseudotuberculosis Septicemia and HIV

Two cases of community-acquired septicemia caused by serotype-O1 Yersinia pseudotuberculosis were diagnosed in middle-aged, HIV-positive, immunodeficient patients during an 8-month period. Bacterial isolates were genetically indistinguishable, but no epidemiologic link between the 2 patients was established. HIV-related immunosuppression should be regarded as a risk factor for Y. pseudotuberculosis septicemia

Anatomical Considerations for Clinical Predictability in Intraoral Defect Reconstruction: A Morphometric Study

Objective: To analyze morphometric measurements in dry jaws, chins, and hip bones to contribute to clinical predictability in the reconstruction of grafted areas. Material and Methods: The sample comprised 619 anatomical specimens. Anatomical structures were measured at predetermined points using a digital vernier caliper. Measurements of average thickness and linear dimensions of the coronoid process, as well as the average thickness of the mentum and iliac crest points, were obtained. Results: The average morphometric measurements of anatomical structures revealed that male individuals exhibit larger values than female individuals, with a mean difference of 1.57 mm. The mean estimated bone volume of the iliac crest and iliac fossa was 21,347.19 mm³ and 21,125.56 mm³ for the left and right sides, respectively. The coronoid process displayed a smaller thickness (2.11 mm) and linear measurement (5.77 mm) in its upper portion and a larger thickness (3.63 mm) and linear measurement (14.51 mm) at its base, on average. In the mentum, the greatest average thickness was found at the midline, with a value of 12.90 mm. Conclusion: The surgeon can predict the amount of bone that can be obtained from donor areas, as well as the predominant type of bone in each area, aiming to optimize its clinical application. It is important to highlight that both the iliac crest and iliac fossa provide a significant bone volume in comparison to intraoral areas
